plugin-loader: Do not unload libraries during dlclose(), if supported

Unloading libraries calls any library constructor/destructor functions. Some
libraries can't handle that in our excessive unit test use. GnuTLS leaks
a /dev/urandom file descriptor, letting unit tests fail with arbitrary
out-of-resources errors.
